busybeeburns Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Later this month... Coldplay will announce a new marketing campaign later this month, which their manager says will have “a huge global reach”. Dave Holmes, the band’s long time partner, said the idea was “pretty significant” and that he couldn’t “afford to have it get out.” Holmes’ announcement comes after it was revealed that the band’s new single ‘Violet Hill’ was downloaded 2 million times for free from their website. The single, which has now been released as a paid-for digital-download, was available to download from Coldplay’s website for one week. According to Music Week, the band are currently recording material which didn’t make it onto their forthcoming album, ‘Viva La Vida’ - which is out on June 12th. The songs are expected to be released by the band’s record label EMI alongside the new album. As previously reported, Coldplay will play three free shows this June in Barcelona, New York and London. Tickets will only be available via the band’s website. http://www.gigwise.com/news/42951/coldplay-to-announce-new-initiative-with-huge-global-reach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan8 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Coldplay plan summer of big surprises 09:39 | Tuesday May 6, 2008 By Robert Ashton Last week’s phenomenally successful free single download just the start, claim Coldplay management and label Coldplay have not finished with surprises in the run-up to the release of Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, with a “significant major initiative” planned around another single taken from the album on May 21. (!!!) With the band recording additional material that did not make the album’s final cut, Parlophone is also promising a treat for fans, with a number of other non-album tracks eventually seeing the light of day. Downloads of the giveaway digital single Violet Hill hit around the 1.5m mark at the end of last week, and the band’s management company, LA based 3D Management, and record company Parlophone are now ratcheting up the marketing campaign to follow the free download that started on April 29. Coldplay’s manager Dave Holmes is already promising something special for the third week in May. “It’s one pretty significant thing, although I can’t afford to have it get out,” he says. “You’ll understand why when I tell you, but it is a major initiative with huge global reach.” For the full story see this week's Music Week magazine out today. http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=1034119&c=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
